I don't think its as big of a deal as its made out to be. They are human after all and have overestimated the capabilities of LLMs. What's more important is that this signals product market fit.

They are backpedaling because AI backlash is slowing down their data center builds.

Molotov bombing Altman's front gate did not help AI apocalypse hype either

Millions of Nvidia GPUs are stranded in warehouses right now with nowhere to be installed and some will be deprecated in less than a year. Good thing Micron and everyone in the supply chain is scaling up to make millions more... I am sure this will work out fine when they write down all of the inventory which is too old to install

		Are you telling me I only have to wait just a little longer and the GPU are going to be really, really cheap?

I seriously doubt their actual beliefs* have changed in the slightest. They just see which way the wind is blowing with public sentiment and are trying to do damage control.

*I doubt they HAVE actual beliefs. Their entire job is managing PR and convincing investors.

They self-servingly overinflated the capabilities and now its coming to roost.

No. This is a ridiculous take on the recklessness Altman and Amodei have stated. Both men flat out lied, kept lying and continue to lie about their numbers and capabilities. They have literally destroyed markets that aren't coming back anytime soon (consumer hardware). They should be held accountable, not let off the hook like "Oh well, they fucked our economy long term. Guess they're just human."

Literally fuck them and an oversimplification like this.

		It's amazing how any rightful and just criticism of a Jewish person is automatically anti-Semitic. The only group of people with a special label for those that criticize them and the only group of people with a special label for those that ask questions about a certain historical event that involved them. Wild stuff.

There are many humans without any skin in the game that accurately estimated the capabilities of LLMs.

It has nothing to do with "being human". This wasn't about finding "product market fit" either. It was about griftin' while the gettin' was good. That certainly is "human".
